List 10 things you could tell your 16 year old self, if you could.

To 16 year old Jenny...

1- Boys can wait. Have fun with your friends. 

2- Appreciate your Mom. You're going to miss her.

3- Don't be afraid to make a fool out of yourself. Learn to laugh at your mistakes and flaws. No one (that matters) expects you to be perfect.

4- Don't worry that boys don't think you're good enough for them...
This is the man that you will marry someday. He loves you more than you can imagine that anyone ever could.


5- You're a very blessed young lady. Be grateful for what you have. It may not be the best of everything, but you have a mother that works her fingers to the bone to provide you with more than she ever had.

6- You might be going through an awkward stage right now. It's ok. Most of the other girls are too.

7- You have it easier than future 16 year old girls. If only you knew the pressures that social media will bring to teenagers in the future. 

8- Don't worry that your mom can't afford for you to wear Abercrombie & Fitch. No one will really care about what brand of jeans you wore in high school when its time to get a job.

9- Ask your grandparents to tell you stories. You have no idea just how interesting they are or how little time you have left with them.

10- Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end.
